Description

All NDT test methods have some limitation in regard to testing to the very end of a tube. These “untestedends” must be cut off, resulting in a substantial loss of product and revenue, or the manufacturer needs todevelop a method to test these ends to meet the tube integrity requirement. Some industries require that theend be tested to a higher level of integrity because it is being expanded, threaded, or welded in the field,and end integrity is critical to the tube performance. MAC’s new UT End Tester provides a solution to thisproblem.

The Echomac® UT End Tester consists of twoindependent, identical test stations designed toinspect the untested portion of a tube end.Generally this portion would range between 250and 500mm from the tube end, depending on the
